Sue-Ann Jazz

admin — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:45:09 +0000

Sue Ann is a Melbourne-based Jazz singer who wanted a way to publicise her talents and her CDs online.

We researched WordPress site designs that best fitted her vision (based on example sites she liked), customised the site with images and logos she supplied and set-up the page content, blog pages, calendar and social networking (Twitter, FaceBook and MySpace). She also got a tutorial on the Wordpress system, and PDF Quick Start Guides to help her use the system

Her response was heartfelt:

“…Lisa my dear! You are an absolute gem! May the universe give you every single delight pure joy and sheer happiness that your heart desires and your mind can imagine. Its all yours. I wish it so…”

Eloise is a jazz singer who sings the “golden” oldies to seniors in nursing homes.

As a first-stage in building her business, she asked for a retro-look website and provided a few example images to give an idea of what she wanted.

We helped her get a domain name for her business and hosted it for her, then started work on the wordpress theme which we’d found that best-suited her needs. The theme was extensively customised with additional images obtained from different sources and a calendar plugin added and configured. The finished result is one we’re all very proud of!

We also helped create a new print flyer to advertise her services, and helped design an image for her business card (which she had printed by budget card printers moocards).

King Marong

King Marong runs Djembe drumming classes in Melbourne, and around Australia for adults and children. He is a founding-member of Afro Mandinko, a West African style band.

King needed a new website to replace his original site which was in need of a revamp.

We reconstructed the site in Wordpress, and showed him how to update the content himself (a neat reason to go with Wordpress), and installed an eCommerce store, mailing list system and calendar plugin.

We are currently working on Search Engine Optimised meta-tags (title, description and keywords) for the site to help it rate well in Google search results.

Note: this project is still under developent (but the site design is complete!)

Julie Grant wanted to streamline her website and we came to the rescue with a Wordpress Content Management System, and found a website theme that we customised for her needs.

Then we installed and configured a number of useful plugins, including a calendar, and an eCommerce shop.

Last but not least, we edited some raw footage she had taken and created neat video testimonials for the site which appear on several pages.

Kobya Panguana is an African musician who needed a budget website.
This website was originally designed in HTML, but we applied some smarts to it and enabled Kobya to update the content on the pages himself using a combination of google’s feedburner and wordpress online blogging software.
The solution is a great looking site that’s easy for him to update!

AR Law Services

Anthony Robinson of AR Law Services needed an updated website that he could update himself and which was more appealing to his target market: immigration clients.

The solution: a CMS (Content Management System) website! We adapted the Wordpress website system for Anthony’s needs, customised the layout and created a new header image. Then we organised new hosting for his site which saved him money, set up his email and trained him in the use of the new software.

Result: An easy to use website that he can update himself using a system that works much like MS Word.

HypnoticFX version 2

admin — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 08:04:57 +0000

The original HypnoticFX site was created with a site template generator, which was great as a first-step, but had become difficult to maintain for Julie Grant, the owner.

Tall Poppy Digital performed a complete site redesign, including Graphic Design, which gave Julie’s business a new, clean and sleek look and feel which was far more attractive to her target market.

Bikram Yoga Fitzroy

admin — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:01:43 +0000

The Bikram Yoga Fitzroy site was in need of a complete revamp — old photos, out-of-date copywriting and a design which looked great when it was originally created simply wasn’t working for the new owners, Michael and Susan Houghton.

The solution was a radical redesign, using a website design created by Bikram Yoga Fitzroy’s own Graphic Designer. This involved a new site and layout which stands out among all the Bikram Yoga sites worldwide, and which — thanks to the SEO and SEO Copywriting — ranks high in Search Results.

We’re also helping Michael and Susan with ongoing support, adding new content every month and keeping things running smoothly for them!

Alex Zenanda of Copywriter Melbourne had created her own site using a website template but wanted something a little more personalised.

We created a whole new look for her site, including a Graphic Design banner and a Home page (with facility to add new pages easily should she wish). We added her own copywriting and set-up tags for her Site title, Description and Keywords.
